The Dwarf Orange Bulborb (テンコチャッピー) is an enemy in Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3, and Pikmin 4. This enemy mimics the Orange Bulborb and has the same aggressiveness, noticing Pikmin at a much greater distance than other Dwarf Bulborbs. It can still be easily defeated through swarming or by using the methods for attacking the other Bulborb-mimicking Breadbugs.

Dalmo's Notes[]
"An imposter posing as the offspring of an Orange Bulborb. It resembles the Orange Bulborb in every way. Not just in obvious shape but even down to its sharp senses, alert to each sound and movement in its vicinity. What a loveable little impersonator!"
Olimar's Notes[]
"Just as dwarf red bulborbs mimic the appearance of red bulborbs, it was theorized than an orange bulborb-mimicking variant must also exist. Recent fieldwork has confirmed this theory."
Louie's Notes[]
"Although difficult to prepare, this exquisite creature is more than worth the effort. Great in fajitas!"
Nintendo Player's Guide[]
"Found in underground areas only, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are little eating machines, and they're never far from an orange Bulborb. If you can separate the creatures, you can swarm them or stomp them fairly easily-but if you have to take them on in groups, you'll be in for quite a battle."
Pikmin 3 Prima Guide[]
"Dwarf Orange Bulborbs aren’t nearly as durable as their as their fully grown counterparts. Toss a single Pikmin onto a Dwarf Bulborb’s back to quickly defeat this enemy."
Battle strategy[]
Pikmin 2[]
Dwarf Orange Bulborbs behave similarly to the Dwarf Red Bulborb, except they notice Pikmin much sooner. With large amounts of Pikmin, you can swarm them for a quick defeat, or you can throw a Pikmin directly on top of it to kill it instantly.
Pikmin 3[]
They behave similarly to the Dwarf Orange Bulborbs in Pikmin 2. Swarm them with large groups of Pikmin, or throw one directly on top of them for an instant kill.
Pikmin 4[]
They are similar to the Dwarf Orange Bulborb in Pikmin 3. Swarm them with large groups of Pikmin, or throw one pikmin on its back for faster success, note that in Pikmin 4 they have slightly more health than average.
